Schaub 703 1-1/4" Colonial Cabinet Knob

The Schaub 703 Colonial knob uses an 8/32 thread and ships with a 1 inch long screw. That covers a standard 3/4 inch drawer front or door panel with room to spare. If you're mounting through a thicker slab, a false front, or a panel with an applied molding, you'll want a longer 8/32 machine screw, which is a stock size at any hardware counter.

Single-hole knobs like the 703 mount on one screw, so a straight knob-for-knob swap is just a matter of the new base covering the old footprint. The 703 sits on a 3/4 inch base. If your old knob had a rosette or backplate wider than 3/4 inch, the finish ring around the hole may show. Coming off a pull with two holes on centers, a knob won't work at all without plugging and re-drilling.

The Schaub 703 Colonial knob is a 1-1/4 inch diameter traditional-style knob with a solid brass base material. The nearest like-for-like substitute in solid brass is the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob, sold in Delaney's Cabinet Knobs series. Both are solid brass cabinet knobs, so plating wear and feel are comparable; confirm the diameter and screw length you need before swapping, since the 703 is specified at 1-1/4 inch with an 8/32 by 1 inch long screw.

The Schaub 703 Colonial knob is 1-1/4 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch base and 7/8 inch projection. If you want a bigger grip, the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. That is a half inch more knob face, which gives a fuller hand grip on tall or heavy doors, though it also reads as a larger visual element on small drawer fronts.

Projection is 7/8 inch, so the knob stands just under an inch off the face of the door. The knob itself is 1-1/4 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch base where it meets the panel. That combination matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway of built-ins, where a deeper knob catches pockets and hips.

Base material is solid brass. That's the reason it holds up in a rental kitchen or a hospitality property where zinc knobs chip at the base and the plating flakes off the high spot in a couple of years. Solid brass also means the threaded boss won't strip the way a die-cast one does when a maintenance tech overtightens.

Fourteen finishes: Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Light Brass, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Antique Nickel, Distressed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Aurora Bronze, Distressed Bronze, Michelangelo Bronze, and Flat Black. For a traditional or Colonial-style kitchen, Polished Brass and Antique Brass are the period-correct reads; Oil Rubbed Bronze and Flat Black are the usual choices when the knob needs to disappear against dark cabinetry.

The 703 is part of Schaub's Traditional Designs collection, a catalog line rather than a one-off, and each finish carries a fixed code (PB, ORB, SN, PC, AB, ALB, AN, AUB, DBZ, DN, FB, MIBZ, PN, SB). Spec the code in your standards document and re-orders will match. Worth knowing on living finishes: Distressed Bronze, Distressed Nickel and Antique Brass are hand-applied, so a knob added three years into service will show some variation against one that has been handled daily.

1-1/4 inch is the workhorse size for cabinet doors and it reads correctly on standard face-frame or full-overlay fronts. Where it can look undersized is on wide, heavy drawer banks, pantry doors, or oversized island panels. If you want more visual weight there, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. A common approach is the 703 on doors and a larger knob or a pull on the big drawers.

Staying traditional, Delaney Hardware makes a solid brass cabinet knob in its Cabinet Knobs series. For something less period, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission Round knob is a flatter, squarer Craftsman profile, and the CK-19032 Whistler is a contemporary round. Emtek also sells the Schaub Collection under its own SELECT line, including Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass knobs, if you want the same design house in a different style family.

No. The Schaub 703 is a Colonial knob from Schaub's Traditional Designs collection, 1-1/4 inch diameter in solid brass. Emtek offers a separate Schaub Collection, which includes the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs and pattern-named pieces such as the Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass knobs. Those Emtek items are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull products in their own series and are different designs from the 703 Colonial profile, so they are a style alternative rather than a drop-in match.

The Schaub 703 is a traditional-style Colonial knob. For a different design direction, Orca Hardware offers the CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob from its 18-Mission Collection and the CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob from its 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs like the 703, so they serve the same opening on a door or drawer front; the difference is the face profile and collection styling, not the function.

The 703 mounts with a single 8/32 screw through the stile of the door, not through the glass, so a glass-front door with a wood frame takes it the same as a solid panel. What decides it is the frame thickness, since the supplied screw is 1 inch long, and the width of the stile needs to leave room for a 3/4 inch base to sit flat.

Yes, Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for the 703 and directs buyers to its product stewardship page. That's standard for solid brass hardware sold into California. If you're a procurement buyer who has to document it, note it against the line item at order time.

The Schaub 703 Colonial is a solid brass knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter with a 7/8 inch projection. If you want a glass accent on select cabinets, the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection is a cabinet knob/pull that brings a glass face while keeping the same basic mounting approach on a drawer or door front. Match your metal finish across both so the brass hardware and the glass knob's base read together.
